Google and Siri started voice search, but Amazon’s Echo really got the ball rolling. When it was launched in 2015, it was seen as a fun voice recognition that everyone would want for a few months before forgetting all about it.
No surprise, then that Google has been quick to join the fray, with the launch of Google Home, to build on Google Voice already on Android. And of course, there is the iPhone’s Siri and Microsoft Cortana.
